My Christmas Wish List

With every winter that comes, there are a few things that I still await with the same fervor year after year since I was a child. Like the first snowfall, decorating the Christmas tree together with my family and of course, unwrapping all the presents. As I grew up, I started appreciating the non-material gifts in life more and more (the health, happiness and peace that we have been blessed with). But the little girl in me still gets all fired up whenever those beautifully wrapped gifts appear under the tree on Christmas eve.

So what is on my Christmas wish list this year (of the store-available variety)?

I have a few otk pairs that I love to death, but I’ve been reading so many good things about the Stuart Weitzman ones, that I feel like I need to try them! (OK, need is a strong word, but you catch my drift)

You guys, I need sooo many more weddings, glam parties and just ridiculously fancy events in my life, so I can wear all of the dresses in my closet- but at the same time, I can’t stop myself from wanting just one more.

Actually, I’m not a big holiday fan. Repetition makes me crazy. HA! I’ll go to yoga at 8am then to dinner at childhood friends house. It’s nice to see them but it’s nice to see them no matter if it’s Thanksgiving or not. Holidays feel like obligations to me. It reminds of how much of a creative being I am. I’m more of a show gratitude every day….kinda girl. Can’t fall asleep at night until I tell myself the things I’m grateful for that happened during the day. Been doing this for years. What do you do for Christmas?

I absolutely loved what you said there about giving gratitude for all the good things in your life- I do that daily as well, usually in the morning. It really helps center me for the rest of the day. For Christmas, Alex and I usually have our parents coming over, we decorate the Christmas tree together and cook enough to feed an army. Back home in Romania you would also get loads of carolers, but it doesn’t seem to be so popular here in Amsterdam unfortunately. And then we go have dinner with friends the next day- who also cook as much as we do hahah!
